New York 1939
- The 193940 New York World's Fair was a world's
fair held at Flushing MeadowsCorona
Park in Queens, New York, United States. It was
the second-most expensive American world's fair
of all time, exceeded only by St.
Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904.
Many countries around the world participated in
it, and over 44 million people attended its
exhibits in two seasons.
7
- It was the first exposition to be based on the
future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New
Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look
at "the world of tomorrow". - When World War II began four months into the 1939
World's Fair, many exhibits were affected,
especially those on display in the pavilions of
countries under Axis occupation. After the close
of the fair in 1940, many exhibits were
demolished or removed
8
- The expo was broadcasted live on the black and
white televisions. To convince the visitors it
was not a trick the TVs were built with
transparent sides so that the visitors could see
it. - The fair was organized around themes
Transportation Zone, the Communications
Business Zone, the Food Zone, the Govt. Zone
the Amusement Zone.

Montreals Expo 67
- The 1967 International and Universal
Exposition or Expo 67, as it was commonly known,
was a general exhibition, Category One World's
Fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from April
27 to October 29, 1967. It is considered to be
the most successful World's Fair of the 20th
century with the most attendees to that date and
62 nations participating. It also set the
single-day attendance record for a world's fair,
with 569,500 visitors on its third day.
14
- Expo 67 was Canada's main celebration during
its centennial year. It was awarded to them in
the late 1962. - After Expo 67 ended in October 1967, the site and
most of the pavilions continued on as an
exhibition called Man and His World, open during
the summer months from 1968 until 1984. By that
time, most of the buildingswhich had not been
designed to last beyond the original
exhibitionhad deteriorated and were dismantled.
Today, the islands that hosted the world
exhibition are mainly used as parkland and for
recreational use, with only a few remaining
structures from Expo 67 to show that the event
was held there.
15
- Another major innovation at Expo 67 was the
construction of the architect Buckminster
Fuller's Geodesic Dome, at the United States
Pavilion. Today the geodesic dome is called the
Biosphere and is a Museum of the Environment. The
Geodesic dome's construction used simple modular
that fit together as triangular components that
made up the entire dome strut was originally
covered with a clear material, like the Crystal
palace of 1851 in Lone 1,11 a fire later
destroyed the covering of the geodesic dome and
it now stands with its I structure intact.
